That's right!
I laughed way too hard at this, many thanks.
righting a comment...
The comment fell over and needed to be righted.
*rited
It doesn’t make sense does it
It makes sense, just not as intended ;)
It's a write of passage
i thought he used it as slang for "writing a response to correct a wrong post" 😅
but english is not my language. i'm just visiting.
You start lefting a comment
It left me speechless.
Righting.
I realise it's Lemmy so while the majority of my comments are sharing information or suggesting people consider and respect other perspectives, at least one person will slice it up, misconstrue it, go hard on straw man fallacies, and then try place me in a tribe they're at war with, all the while doing their best to appear righteous. Suddenly I am a person that has these wild opinions and thoughts I didn't even know were a thing. Some of the effigies created are disturbing and it's a concern that people's minds do that, and they're oblivious to it and therefore their behaviour toward others.
Bonus points if they actually agree with me without noticing—happens a lo— because reading and digesting comments isn't something people do on a platform that reinforces tribalism by design (instances, communities, anonymity). Assuming agenda, bias, or opinion and never input, discussion, or information, is a trait of a Lemmington. The cascade runaway of pointless voting systems are a controlling factor. The opportunity to feel like Jesus to four other users, always just around the corner.
So I post it anyway because I don't give a shit and, anthropologically, it.clearly fascinates me. Plus I don't want the eggshells of people that have socially stunted themselves to impact my liberty to discourse. At the least they may manage to pull their head out of their arse and learn to respect other's.
I just do the opposite and start wronging a comment.
I’ve been wronged
Haha yeah I do this all the time
(This comment toop 15 minutes to write)
and you still fucked it up
I still post it
I left it anyway
I do this with the exception of I just don't want to bother by the time I finish it.
